Introducing the latest and greatest in the grand tradition of crime-solving detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe and Charlie Chan... Nate! Nate the Great, that is. This pint-size young detective has found lost balloons, books, slippers, chickens, and even a lost goldfish. But when his neighbor Annie asks for help in locating her missing painting, it takes all of Nate's derring-do to solve the toughest case of his career! Although Nate believes that great detectives work alone, he fins that unraveling mysteries is easier (and a lot more fun!) with a partner. And a big plate of pancakes. A new musical about teamwork and friendship (imaginary and otherwise) based on the first volume in Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's classic book series, from the cretive teams behind Theatreworks USA's The Mystery of King Tut and Junie B. Jones.
